I take it every night approximately one hour before I go to bed and I sleep well and wake up feeling refreshed. Melatonin is also a powerful antioxidant that has showed to help with many different diseases and disorders. I would take melatonin any day over any prescription sleep medication!!

But I'm surprised at the high doses that are recommended. One Flexeril doesn't affect me at all but 300 mcg of melatonin puts me out. I would definately advise anyone to start on the lowest possible dose in case there is a danger in higher doses.

Even melatonin should only be taken at a very small dose if at all. Do you exercise at all? Try going jogging or walking whenever you are able. It helps with the depression and gets your blood flowing. I hope you're seeing a good endocrinologist; not all are equal, but a good one can help you identify what hormones are deficient. Hi Eileen,
